In my journey I have learned I am a strong, stubborn, independent woman! And none of those words are bad things. I have learned what happened to me years ago that put me on the downward spiral to my weight gain, was not my fault. I am free to be beautiful me again. I have learned I have what it takes to inspire others to success. I have learned my body will do what I tell it do if I ignore my mind. I have learned I can swim further, bike faster, and run more than I ever thought I could. I have learned, despite where I am weight-wise, I have what it takes to be an athlete. I am becoming me, finally.
